    I use the 120cm as my rappel tether and anchor material and the 40cm as my prusik loop.

    Spencer Huffman, Rock and Alpine Guide | Climbing Instructor and Coach

    The 48" (120cm) length is great for all kinds of things. Extending rappels, rope ascension, building anchors, and more! Way easier to untie than webbing.
